I have been running adsense on my site now for a couple of months. My site must not have many good keywords because i am used to $0.20 -$0.50 clicks and had an earning of $6

Today i look in my account and i see that i only have one click, but then to my amazement that one click earned me $5!!

Is this normal? Am i to expect this more often?


I am sooooo excited I might just make the magic 100 before i thought

It happens. It's not completely unusual, but odds are it won't happen a lot. Hopefully the person paying for that ad keeps it at the same bid and you'll get a few more good clicks on it. Chances are in time the bid will be more in line with what other people are bidding.

You never know though. Maybe that ad will stay for awhile.

Ive had an ad like that that earned me $5.95 for one click. Its just completely random.

Not random at all. Look up smart pricing

Ive heard that if you PM me the keywords that got you this click, they will stay bidding higher for those keywords longer. :P

On a more serious note, these things do happen though not too often.

Any news on those 20-60$/click keywords? I have certainly heard of them, but never actually seen them.

wow lucky for you, $5 is a 1 week or 2 weeks to earn from my adsense. :P

The advantage of making "less money" is that you actually keep your current job and then you make extra money with adsense. On the other side, if you start making, let's say 400-450$ per week, some people might be tempted to give up their job and work at home only. But then, you make online 20-25K per year instead of your original salary + the extra income.

Sometimes Google calculates adsense on a delayed basis and will provide you with Adsense revenue the next day. So, it is possible that you were owed some from the previous day.
